Advantages:
ICDSoft has an ideal set of features for quality $5.00/mo hosting. They have all the standards, including plenty of space, FrontPage extensions, SSI, PHP and a MySQL database. Major pluses are the 5 free subdomains and cheap domain names at only $5 per year. Finally, getting shared SSL server on a hosting account that is only $5.00 per month is extremely rare, and a welcome addition. For their price, ICDSoft is able to offer quite a bargain amongst low cost web hosting providers.
Disadvantages:
Support is limited to 24 Hour email support only, although they have a very efficient ticketing response system. Still, with only 5 GB of data transfer and no inherent Ecommerce capabilities, ICDSoft's web hosting account is better suited to personal / information sites, and "brochure-style" small business websites.
